MOTLEY CRUE IMITATORS BEWARE!

We'll tell you, some people will do anything to make a buck. First there was Motley Crue, an incredibly inspired and—in fact—all-around terrific band who reinvented music. Then along comes some outfielder on the Kansas City Royals called Darryl Motley. What a cheap rip-off! We hope K.C. comes in seventh!! Then they start making these "Crue's Missiles," just so some weapons manufacturer can convince Uncle Sam they're the greatest missiles ever...which they would be, except they don't have anything to do with this magnificent hard-rockin' band!! Therefore, we're serving notice that we'll be watching for any scurrilous misuse of the honored name of Motley Crue. ROCK-SHOTS will not allow this musical institution to be tarnished by hucksters who only use them to sell magazines 'n' stuff!!
